And it runs multiple web sites on any port you choose. No FTP service though. Full logs supporting AWSTATS analysis is included. I have used it for several years with no problems.

Many have tried to hack into it, none have succeeded. :D

You're taking a BIG risk!
Get a router/firewall in place.

Find your current IP using something like
whatismyip.com
then send that to friend, have the do »that IP and see if your site comes up.

BE SURE your IIS is patched if you're exposing this outside! Look for the MS Secruity Tool (forget the name) or an online scanner...

make sure your ISP allows you to run a webhost (and has the appropriate ports open on your connection). Worst case you can direct the traffic to a non-standard port usually, but then you have to tell people to use the specific port number (»www.curiousoneswebhost.com:10001 or whatever nonstandard port you set it up on)

and you can only have one domain.I wasn't aware of that limit. Good call. That may be a problem since the OP wants to host two...

To do so click on the Start button bottom left
Click on Control Panel
Click on Add/Remove Windows Components
Select the box Internet Information Services (IIS)
additionally if you want while IIS is highlighted click details to select further options.

Click on apply/ok and follow the prompts to have IIS installed on an XP machine. While this is the full version as shipped with Server 2003 there are a few limitations such as previously mentioned max of ten persistent connections at one time and you can only have one domain.

I have both Apache on Linux and IIS on Server 2003, unless you wish to work with the .net and ASP I'd install apache it would allow for more connections and virtual domains.

»www.microsoft.com/resources/docu···mfr=true

Kinda too bad MS provided the full IIS and removed PWS from, what, Windows 98. That was an easy local web server...but I imagine there wasn't much sense in it.

ASP/.NET is native to IIS. PHP more native to Apache, but is available for IIS. If you do/want to code in ASP, IIS is a better solution.

I used to run Apache for internal testing but switched to IIS simply so I could have PHP and ASP environments on one site/port.

Run through patches and security reviews for either one... Opening a port from the wild outside to your home server can be a bit risky!
